Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Give me 30 seconds,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I can give you a list of \N30 terrifying challenges
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,facing humanity and the planet \Nat this point in history.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we wouldn't sleep tonight.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are so many of them, \Nand they seem to be so frightening
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not really surprising
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that many of us are feeling \Na little bit disheartened,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a little bit anxious at the moment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the way I see it -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are really only two things
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stopping the world working at the moment
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is the fact that \Nthe countries don't collaborate enough.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know the solutions \Nto most of those challenges.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we don't implement them\Nbecause we don't work together.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the second thing \Nthat stopping the world working properly
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the fact that every single \None of those challenges
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has been caused by the behaviour\Nof human beings.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if we can change that\Nwe can change everything.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now those sound like \Nbig tasks and they are.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm optimistic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For the last 10 years, I've been working\Non projects and plans and policies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try and attack those two barriers\Nto making the world work better.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of them I tried to encourage\Ncountries to implement.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the coolest ones, I keep\Nand I try to do them myself.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'd like to tell you about two of those\Nin the few minutes that I've got today.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is more of an update.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a project called The Good Country Index,\Nwhich I launched back in 2014.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I haven't spoken about it for a while,\Nbut it's been through 4 different editions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I thought it would be good\Nto give an update.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So The Good Country Index is an attempt\Nto measure what every country on earth
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives to the rest of the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outside of its own borders,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a kind of balance sheet\Nfor the world if you like.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of people, when I \Noriginally launched it said
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not another country index, surely \Nthere are enough of those around already.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the interesting thing is that\Nalmost all of the others look inwards.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They treat countries as if they were little islands
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inhabiting their own private oceans.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But surely that doesn't really make sense.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because everything everybody does\Nhas an impact on all of us, always.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If one country pollutes the air or water,\Nthat's our air and our water.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they go to war, \Ndrags other countries in
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the refugees pour out.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is really nothing\Nyou can do any more
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that only impacts the domestic population.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what The Good Country Index\Nattempts to do
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to make a start towards \Nhelping people to understand
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is an interconnected system,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by measuring what each country\Ncontributes to the rest of the world.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it's not my opinion which countries\Nrank higher and which ones rank lower.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's formed from a set of 35 \Nlarge databases,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which mostly come from the UN system.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what they do is they simply measure\Nthe positive and negative effects
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the countries have.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's always been a tiny bit controversial.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's kind of good,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it helps to start\Na new kind of argument.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, it works really well.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Within hours of me releasing the first\Nedition of The Good Country Index
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started receiving thousands of \Nbeautiful hate mails from trolls
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all over the world, demanding to know \Nwhy the country they hate ranks so high.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the country they love ranks so low,\Nand how I cooked up the entire thing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just to produce that specific result\Nand annoy them personally.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we have conversations about\Nthese things and we argue about it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at the end I'd always say \Nthe same thing, "Look, it's working."
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if I am right. \NI don't know if you are right.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the end, we are \Ndiscussing the right thing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are talking about \Nnot how well is your country,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but how much is your country doing.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what it was supposed to achieve.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So by pushing the direction of\Nthe argument, the conversation,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,towards a new way of looking at countries,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I think that \Nit's pushing the agenda forward
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, my colleague Robert Govers and I
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just released the latest edition\Nof The Good Country Index.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'll just give you a very quick glimpse\Nof what's going on there.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finland came first.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of these days, somebody is going to\Ninvent a country ranking
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that does not have \Na nordic country in the top ten.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,An index of modesty perhaps.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway well done Finland, seriously!\NIt's absolutely great.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And another rather interesting thing\Nhappened in this latest edition
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of The Good Country Index, \Nand that was
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you can see if you go to the \Nslightly lower in the Index,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the USA has various reasons sunk\Nquite a long way since the last edition,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Russia for various reasons has risen.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we now have this peculiar situation\Nwhere the USA and Russia
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,relative to the size of their economies,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are neck and neck, \Nquite a long way down the Index.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's like two mean kids holding hands\Nat the edge of the playground
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and refusing to join the others.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter) (Cheering) (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But hey, it's an interesting result,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in the end, I'm afraid to say that\Nthe world hasn't changed very much
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since the first one came out in 2014.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's still America first, Britain first,\NRussia first, Germany first.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in a way I understand that. \NI don't have a problem with it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean after all, if you are elected\Nto run a country, it's pretty obvious
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you put that country's interest first.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what I find rather demoralising \Nabout those kinds of sentiments
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the implication that\Neverybody else has to come last.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is what I dispute.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think we can all come first.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of the nice things about\Nthe job I have been doing
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the last 20 years or so\Nadvising governments around the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and trying out real policies\Nin the real world,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that it's perfectly\Npossible to harmonise
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your domestic and your\Ninternational responsibilities.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can do the right thing\Nfor your own people,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can do the right thing\Nfor humanity at the same time
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without sacrificing yourself.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the funny thing is, \Nit makes better policies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is something that most\Ngovernments have simply never tried.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So on to the second thing\Nthat's stopping the world working
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the slightly more complicated issue\Nof the behaviour of us humans.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, to get started on this.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought it would be interesting to try\Nto find out how many people in the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,already agree with \Nsome of these basic principles,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ones outlined behind \NThe Good Country Index.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Robert and I did some research
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we discovered that no less than\N10% of the world's population
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,appears to fully share\Nthe principles of The Good Country,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the idea that countries should collaborate\Nand cooperate a great deal more,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and compete a tiny bit less.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is great news. 10 percent,\Nthat's 760 million people.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If that were a nation, that would be\Nthe third largest nation on the planet
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after China and India.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I have to admit when \Nthose numbers came out,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got very excited.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then on mature reflection,\NI realised that actually
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the counterpart of that is that\N90% of the people in the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't agree with that proposition.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think if one was going to\Ntake this challenge seriously,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one has to focus on the 90%.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not enough just to sell messages\Nto the people who already agree with you,
